Google announced that Home Control Panel, a feature that allows users to quickly control their smart home devices from the lock screen or quick settings, will soon be available on all Android devices running Android 14.

The main panel was previously exclusive to Pixel smartphones and Pixel tablets. However, Google has now confirmed that it will expand this feature to all Android devices running the latest version of the operating system.

Thanks to the main panel, users can quickly access their spaces and favorites, which are groups of smart home devices they set up to manage together. This makes it easy to turn off all the lights in a room, for example, or start a scene that plays music and changes the lighting.

Home Bar is a convenient way to control your smart home devices without having to open the Google Home app. This is especially useful for frequently used devices such as light fixtures and thermostats.

The control panel will be available on all Android devices once they receive the latest Android 14 update.
